DIY Vintage Tin Tiles

Posted by Honor on Wednesday, February 27, 2013, In : Decor Crafts

If you took a peek at my home tour on Life Made Lovely last week you would have seen my penchant for incorporating vintage materials into my home. Worn woods, reclaimed architectural features like windows, doors and ladders and vintage tin ceiling panels. I was lucky enough to source enough vintage tin to cover our kitchen soffit. What a score that was! And for only a couple of hundos. I know that may sound like a lot of money but it's really not. On my weekly round abouts through the local s...

My Retro Camping Trailer BIG Reveal

Posted by Honor on Monday, July 30, 2012, In : Life At Home

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Can you sense my excitement?! After many late late nights of painting and sewing I am so proud to reveal our retro 70's camping trailer! (Need to confirm the make/year/model with the hubs) but that is not really important. What is important is that our little trailer is sooo purdy ;)

Its like my third child now. First I thoroughly scrubbed her top to bottom till she was spark spanking sparkling clean. Then I carefully coated her entire interior with many coats of paint....

DIY Kitchen Decor Series: Lettered Kitchen Sign

Posted by Honor on Friday, June 29, 2012, In : Decor Crafts

Love the look of vintage signs like me, but don't want to pay the non-vintage price tag? Make it yourself! I love all the cute kitchen decor that is out there today but I can't see paying a pretty penny for them.

After this I think I will make a whole wall of words like Yummy, Eat Here, Baked Goods ...

Shopping Review: The Vintage Marketplace

Posted by Honor Hansen on Friday, March 2, 2012, In : Shopping Reviews

One of my favorite flea markets! The Vintage Marketplace happens about 4 times a year located in Rainbow California (right on the edge of San Diego & Temecula county lines) at the Rainbow Oaks park and shopping center. It doesn't hurt that this show is only five minutes from my house! I mean come on! 5 minutes! One of the downfalls of living in the country (as country as San Diego can be ;) ) is that EVERYthing is so dang far! And with rising gas prices I really think twice about my car ad...
